Bean soup with dried broad beans

Soak the fava beans in water for at least 12 hours. Then discard the soaking water and briefly rinse the beans. Finely chop the onion, celery, and bacon and fry them in a little olive oil. Add the fava beans with the tomatoes and cook for about 30 minutes. The beans are ready when they begin to break down a little. Add a little more water, if necessary. Season with salt and pepper, add the chopped parsley, and drizzle with a generous splash of olive oil before serving.
